Bryan Police have been receiving calls this morning about an overturned eighteen wheeler, but say there is no cause for concern.
The truck, which is carrying 80,000 pounds of lime, is not hazardous and did not spill, but will be left beside the road until the company retrieves it later today.
Police say it is north of town, near the southbound Texas Avenue/Business 6 exit on Earl Rudder Freeway.
The suspect in an armed robbery outside a College Station restaurant on Tuesday morning (December 17) visited with a College Station police officer the night before the holdup. According to the CSPD arrest report, the day after the holdup, detectives were told the officer recognized the suspect from surveillance video. That contributed to Wednesday’s arrest (December 18) of 17 year old Kamron Lewis of College Station. He is accused of pressing a gun into the back of an employee outside The Cookshack restaurant, demanding her property, then firing one shot into the air. Lewis remains jailed as of December 19th in lieu of a $200,000 dollar bond.

The College Station police department announces a successful hostage rescue. CSPD’s Facebook page says officers responded to a 9-1-1 text Wednesday morning (December 18) before sunrise that a woman was being held at gunpoint by an ex-boyfriend. Two young children were also inside an apartment at the Fox Meadows complex at Welsh and Balcones, which is south of Consolidated High School. The woman escaped but the children remained inside the apartment. Members of CSPD’s SWAT team entered the apartment while the suspect was asleep and rescued the children. The gun that was used was reported stolen to CSPD last week. The ex-boyfriend, 24 year old Dameont Jackson of Bryan, was arrested for burglary of a habitation, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, and unlawful possession of a weapon by a felon. Online court records say Jackson is awaiting three trials. One is for felony possession of marijuana in March of 2023, another is for felony evading arrest in July 2021, and another is for misdemeanor marijuana possession in February 2023. Jackson is also accused of violating probation associated with two convictions for misdemeanor possession of marijuana in incidents that took place in February and June 2020.
